Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 26 Wu Mengming's Family Property
Not long after, outside the Jinyiwei yamen, hundreds of Tiqi dressed in red uniforms were gathered, which was almost half of Nanzhen Fusi's military strength. Riding is really miserable. Not only are there no horses, but even the clothes are in tatters.

"Let's go, go straight to Wu Mengming's mansion!" Liu Hongjian shouted, he is very anxious now, because if he can get hold of the evidence of the collusion among the officials, at least it will save him a lot of time in investigating the case, Daming, can't wait up.

Wu Mengming's mansion is located in the west of the inner city of Beijing. It is a newly built typical four-entry courtyard house. It can be seen that Wu Mengming has been doing well in the past few years. Wu Mengming's arrest happened very suddenly, and Chang Yu's news was blocked very successfully. Wu Mansion is still in a peaceful atmosphere.

Old Wangtou, the housekeeper of the Wu Mansion, has been living in style these few days. The head of the house, Mr. Wu, only knows how to make money every day. No exception, he is the god of all maids and servants.

Reminiscing about the romantic affair with the maid Xiaocui last night, the old Wang's head began to itch again, but time is not forgiving. In order to develop sustainably at night, he was going to go out to the pharmacy to buy some Dali pills.

As soon as Lao Wang left the house, he saw a large number of guards in brocade clothes swarming towards Wu Mansion. Years of experience told him that the visitors were not good.

"Block the main entrance and exit of the Wu Mansion, and prohibit everyone from entering and exiting. Chang Yu, you send your people in to take care of all the idlers, etc. Don't let anyone tamper with it!"

Although Liang Yang, the old town governor, was over sixty years old, his body was very strong, his beard and hair fluttered in command, and Liu Hongjian behind him was also happy and relaxed.

"Who are you? How dare you pretend to be Jinyiwei? Do you know whose mansion this is?" The housekeeper, Old Wang, looked fearless. The head of the house, Mr. Wu, is the official commander of Jinyiwei. The neighbors in the neighborhood know that no one will hide when they see it. walk.

These people in front of them must be fakes, otherwise, how could the family not know the family, and even surrounded the mansion of their own boss.

"Wu Mengming is corrupt and perverts the law, fish and meat people, under the order of Jin Yiwei Commander, come to search, search!" Liang Yang shouted.

"Stop! You are so bold, my Lord Wu is the commander of the Jinyiwei, you fakes! Who sent you here?" Seeing that those Tiqi really dared to break into the door, the old Wang was in a hurry.

"It's me!" Liu Hongjian appeared on the stage with his badge in his hand. Liang Yang had been in the officialdom for many years, knowing that he couldn't always steal the limelight from his boss, so he consciously retreated behind the scenes.

"Huh? Why does this token look so familiar? You... Where did you steal my master's token? Come here! Protect the house!" Before the old Wang could yell, the servant of the Wu family, who had already heard the movement, was holding a stick rushed out of the house.

Liu Hongjian took the Son of Heaven Sword from Niu Zhuang, pulled it out with a clang, and put it directly on the neck of Old Wang, the steward of the Wu residence.

"The token belongs to your master. I don't know if your master has the Shangfang sword bestowed by the emperor? Is it moving to die under the Shangfang sword?" After watching too many TV dramas, I wanted to be the protagonist. The butler of the Wu Mansion's legs were like sifting chaff, Liu Hongjian felt very comfortable, um, this thing really works.

"Don't dare to move! Don't dare to move! Put down your sticks! Put down!" Although the old Wangtou didn't know the origin of the young man holding the sword, he didn't know whether the sword on his neck was Shangfang's sword.

But he really didn't dare to move, after all, no matter whether there was a Shangfang sword on his neck or not, the sharp blade gleaming with cold light could still cut his throat.

"Go in and search!" After the pretense was over, it was time to get down to business, Liu Hongjian handed over the butler to Liang Yang, and took the lead in rushing into the Wu residence.

"My lord, the front yard has been searched, but nothing was found!" A small school ran over to report.

"My lord, but Wu Mengming's family has a lot of treasures, do you want to..." Seeing Liu Hongjian frowned, thinking that the commander was dissatisfied with the lord, the little school took another step forward and said into Liu Hongjian's ear.

"Presumptuous! Don't touch anything without my order! I'll only say it once, and offenders will be punished severely!" These Jinyi guards are usually used to bureaucracy, and they can peel off a layer of skin once they search their homes. Its development will definitely cause bad things in the future.

"Yes, I know my mistake, and I will leave!" Seeing the flattery being slapped on the donkey's leg, the little principal hastily withdrew with a bitter face.

"My lord, the backyard was also searched, but no account was found!" Chang Yu ran from the backyard with a bad expression.

If those accounts could not be found, at most Wu Mengming could only be convicted of having no superiors, which was not what he wanted to see.

Just as Liu Hongjian was thinking about how to deal with it, Liang Yang, who was guarding the servants of the Wu family, came towards Liu Hongjian with a burden in his hand.

"My lord! What do you think this is?" Liang Yang smiled and handed the burden to Liu Hongjian.

After opening it, it turned out to be the accounts of the corruption and illegality of hundreds of officials investigated by Wu Mengming over the years. A new account book next to it turned out to be Wu Mengming himself, which minister bribed him for what, as well as the time and amount, and the records were very detailed.

This Wu Mengming is really a talent, even recorded his own criminal evidence so clearly, Liu Hongjian was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked Liang Yang where he found it.

The courtyard was full of Jinyiwei who searched for a long time but couldn't find it, but Mr. Liang who was walking around easily succeeded, Liu Hongjian was puzzled.

"Haha, my lord, it's nothing more than knowing the truth, motivating it with emotion, and seducing it for profit. Butler Wang has a guilty look on his face. It's obvious that he has done nothing good in the Wu Mansion. The old man just explained Wu Mengming's crimes to him, and agreed If he is not held accountable after the incident, he will directly dedicate this account to the old man!"

Lao Liang stroked his beard, and seriously explained to the leader, who was obviously still a rookie, with a very humble tone.

"That old Wang, I don't look like a good thing!" Although compared with this pile of accounts, a housekeeper seems insignificant, but the somewhat angry Liu Hongjian never rubbed sand in his eyes.

"My lord, the old man just said that he will not be held accountable for offending you today, but not all his responsibilities. Do you understand?" Old Liang closed his eyes slightly, looking pampered.

Ginger is still old and spicy!Liu Hongjian thought to himself, it seems that there is still a lot to learn in the future, and he will learn from time to time.

"My lord, I just inspected the Wu family's treasury, and found a large amount of gold and silver, meeting tickets, and the amount was huge!" Unable to find out the accounts, Chang Yu was very unwilling, and went to the backyard again, but was surprised by the wealth of the Wu family. .

"Oh? How many?" Liu Hongjian asked casually.

"Roughly estimated, there are at least 40 taels, not counting jewelry such as pearls and emeralds!" Chang Yu thought for a while.

Obediently!No wonder the imperial family of the Ming Dynasty ate porridge poorly. A commander of Jinyiwei was so greedy. It is strange that the treasury has money!Liu Hongjian thought to himself.

"I'm going to the palace to report to the emperor, you wait for a good life to take care of this place, don't tamper with the Wu family members, especially the storeroom, you need to find competent men to take care of it!" After thinking for a while, Liu Hongjian thought. There is a fixed number, and he said to Liang Yang and Chang Yu.

Jin Yiwei only has the right to search and arrest, but not the right to ransack the house at will. Although Liu Hongjian is trusted by Chongzhen, he is a member of the third rank after all. After thinking about it, Liu Hongjian still has to go to the palace.

"Your Excellency, go as soon as possible, and the next official will take care of the warehouse until your Excellency returns!" Liang Yang clasped his hands.

He was decisive and smooth in dealing with things, not greedy for merit, and not complacent. With such a reliable boss around, Liu Hongjian was very relieved.

"Bangchui! Come, come with me to the palace!" Liu Hongjian cupped his hands to Liang Yang, calling for Niu Dabangchui, who was about to fall asleep holding the Tianzi sword behind him.

Chang Yu immediately pulled out two horses from the Wu family's stable. Judging by their coat color, they were much stronger than the skinny horse in Liu Hongjian's family.

Liu Hongjian was not polite either, he hung the bundle of ledgers on his body, got on his horse and headed straight for the imperial city.
